The rich spend more money on booze and cigarettes…its why they're rich duh. I like your qualification "military" contractors. Are you implying that the military is responsible in some way for man to put a vehicle bot on Mars? What a sorry, warped view you must have.
Not as a proportion of their income . . . would you have preferred 'Defense' contractor then? The technology for putting the rover in its landing ellipse is entirely an elaboration of the same technologies that put an ICBM on target with a 5m CEP. Military investments in aerospace engineering made that possible, I'm sorry that that doesn't fit in with the prog narrative you've developed for yourself. Perhaps your view is the one that's warped?
all my possessions for my entire life up to now ISN'T a drop in the bucket compared to 2 POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS!! (sorry for the caps but… dude… 2.5 billion dollars)

its resolution is really 720p, it just looks like it went through extremely low bit rate somewhere in the pipeline before the youtube

NASA you got problem with format of your videos. It's best to record it in MP4 before uploading on youtube.
United States Armed Forces spend 2.5 billion USD in mere 40 hours…
NASA can beam back HD from freaking Mars, but they can not upload more than webcam videos?
sort of like Obama is doing over Afghanistan and the U.S. as well. etc.
thank you for the insight.
